Funding public education in an equitable and fair manner is critical,, not only for our children's future, but for the economic well being of our communities. Without equal access to technology and the ability to work with the tools that are current, our students will not be able to compete. Additionally, business and industries are more likely to relocate to the areas that have prepared and educated employees available to hire
We must address the environment, as well as ensuring that communities are supported during transitions to "greener industries". We are being sued by Maryland and Virginia for polluting the Chesapeake, and we have until 2025 to accomplish the clean up. Additionally, the Lancaster and York area has the worst air days, which drains medical and insurance resources, and must be addressed. Clean air and water are critical for all of us, regardless of political orientation.
Educational Funding: Education is critical, as I noted in my second key message, but funding education is the piece we must address, as well. Too many senior citizens and low income families are being taxed right out of their homes, and it is wrong. There are funding options that must be explored, and it needs to be done now.
Technical training, Internships and 2 year programs: Funding for these programs will not create debt that is a life long burden for the families. There are many opportunities and we need to be sure we are preparing all students. By providing these programs, we can address issues for employment, as businesses and industry in need of prepared employees,
Increasing minimum wages Ti remain competitive, as well as to stop the exodus of our citizens, we must increase PA minimum wages. First, no one can live on $7.25 per hour, before taxes. Second, inflation has driven up costs and we must address the impact on our communities.
We need to create a plan to upgrade and improve the infrastructure of the Commonwealth. It is an old state, and there are things that need attention - like roads, , the grid, sewer systems and bridges.
Ensuring the access to Broadband is addressed in the entire Commonwealth. Much like we created Cooperatives for electricity, this may be an option for broadband.
